Not enough bug puns, but very cool nonetheless!

In this topic I asked how to create a blueprint for a structure that would request the necessary resources for another expansion. This way I would only need to carry around one blueprint to start expanding. But there are problems with logistics robots fetching the items from the storage/provider che...

Put them in a passive provider chest (the red one). They have the lowest priority. Prio for taking items is: active provider, storage, passive provider. So as long as the active or storage is filled, they don't take from passive. With your idea: can you show us some pics in "show your creation...

While I really like your approach with tiles I have to agree that this is not a von neumann machine since it is not self-replicating.

I have been playing around with blueprints to explore their possibilities for rapid expansion. I designed a simple corridor blueprint that also requests and stores enough objects needed to place down another corridor so I can expand without having to carry any materials except for the blueprint. Usi...

I was thinking about this yesterday, what would be a neat and sensible game ender. Since factorio is all about automation, a game end could be the creation of a von neumann machine and letting it run for x generations. A von neumann machine would be a very advanced blueprint that once deployed would...
